Year of 5/3/1 Challenges – Done

Posted in: Blog, Q&A

A Year of 5/3/1 Challenges – Done

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Early this morning, at about 5:45, I finished writing the “Year of 5/3/1 Challenges”.  This has 4, 3 month challenges including:

  • Boring But Big (hypertrophy)
  • Strength
  • Power Clean
  • Prowler (conditioning)

All of these challenges have performance goals and all are without compromise.  These challenges are tentatively being added to the book “Beyond 5/3/1″.  In the book, there are chapters on the Advanced 5/3/1, Training for Older Lifters and Kids, Training and Beginner 5/3/1.  The Older Lifter section is going to be very thorough with everything I am doing now in regards to mobility and stretching and the different challenges and programming that I have set up for myself.  The Kids, Training and Beginner 5/3/1 is the plan that I am currently doing with my own 8 year old and the tentative plan that I have mapped out for him regarding training.  We want this to be set and printed before the Thanksgiving holiday; hopefully much earlier.  Just re-reading the challenges today and I think it will make quite an impact.

    Psyched. I’ve mapped out my next year of 5,3,1 so will take on your year of challenges once I’m done with mine.

    I like this idea. Switching up things quarterly, and setting 3 month goals to keep it interesting. Cant wait to see the book.

    Awesome. This will coincide with just after the first year of 5/3/1 for me. It sounds like a perfect second year. Can’t wait!
